If these guys succeed, it's literally bad for everyone else.
So I hope it fails even harder in the future.
Amazing how regulators saw these abysmal numbers that are clearly only possible to sustain through MS' tech monopoly and still allowed them to use to buy out ABK.
They always will fail if not change their view / strategy in gaming.So instead of using Game Pass only as a target, they used Xbox as a whole...and it still failed miserably
They believe they are making everything right and so the grow will come (set targets based on that) but they are doing everything wrong so they grow misses target.

Continuation of massive underperformance = failure. And everyone knows it's even worse when accounting stops packing all fixed costs, and fixed costs are factored in.
All in on gaming. By all means.
This will go down in history as some of the biggest, most wasteful corporate spending ventures ever. META's VR money sink following closely as a second.
Nintendo and Sony's defense of their dominance in the premium games market against American giants should be studied in all business schools. Extremely adept at fending off American giants trying to brute force. That is not to say such a defense doesn't have its drawbacks - low margins.
Apple continues to be the smart one in the room, as far as American giants are concerned. Build a cool device with no analog, close the system, profit.

And yet the Xbox fanboy narrative online right now is that Playstation is falling apart, everyone is leaving, they won't be able to make good games anymore and we need to stop making fun of Xbox and be afraid for Playstation, lol.
They definitely can't backpedal on day 1 releases without a mutiny from their consumers they've gotten used to it now & that was when they were barely releasing games imagine finally having big games to the service & then saying actually no you have to buy these
I mean you even have proud xbots talking about how they haven't even paid for gamepass Because they've used rewards points or they use conversion tactics to get it cheaper than Microsoft wants them to pay
Man, 0.7% isn't even considered growth by most companies. More like a very slight swelling.
You love to see it.

Yes, but the OS was good and it had its fans. Many people got them through their work, I suspect that given a couple more years it could have built itself a niche at least, maybe a decent market.
They needed to have people make great phones for it tho, that did not seem to happen... and them having Nokia in house probably did not make the other phone manufacturers confident about investing in the platform.
Their "customers" are evangelizing for whatever xbox wants them to, they will accept the spin, no matter how hard the spin cycle is set to.They definitely can't backpedal on day 1 releases without a mutiny from their consumers they've gotten used to it now & that was when they were barely releasing games imagine finally having big games to the service & then saying actually no you have to buy these
Didn't Spencer say in their FTC trial they were still at 25 and they haven't experienced growth?
Xbox Game Pass is 'Steady' with No Growth says Phil Spencer
Xbox Game Pass saw no substantial growth in 2022. That's according to boss Phil Spencer and comes from the recently leaked documents that formed part of the

I'd be expecting their 'adorably all digital' series X next year maybe they'll revise the price abit don't see anyone thinking $500 is a good price just because it has a 2tb SSD when they've taken out the disk drive
The biggest thing that killed Windows Phone was Microsoft not supporting their phones past the version of WP the phone shipped with, and apps becoming unavailable if you weren't on the current version.
Yep. But maybe they have been waiting for the acquisition to go through.
Lets hope they respong strong with some publisher and good studio acquisitions
But I doubt it because they barely responded to Betheada purchase
I assume they could have fixed that.
I was already an avid Android fan, mainly because it let me do the stuff people had to jailbreak their iphones without the need to hack the damn thing.
